Re: Caps Lock keys



Thanks Patricia.

Probably handedness has nothing to do with which keys you hit or don't
hit. It has to do with the way you were taught to touch type. I.e., you
know where the comma and quotes keys are "instinctively."

Haven't tried either, as I work at too many machines, some of which are used by others, so I don't dare get used to too different key layouts in anything bu XyWrite (which only I use). I'm forever hitting CapsLock when I think I'm hitting Tab, but never hit Right Alt or Ctrl or Enter for, say, ?, comma, or quotes. Odd, too, because I'm a lefty, and one would expect MORE errors on the right hand. Go figure. Patricia
